The RACER Trust is actively preparing this 217-acre property for redevelopment. Demolition of the former manufacturing building, removal of its large concrete slab and excavation of PCB-containing soils beneath the former slab is complete. RACER representatives are working closely with the North Country Redevelopment Task Force, local elected officials, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and other stakeholders to identify potential future uses for the site that are consistent with the environmental cleanup being conducted at the site, and long-term stewardship.

Environmental Progress

RACER is committed to implementing the U.S. EPA’s selected cleanup for the site as effectively, thoroughly, safely and expeditiously as possible, in full compliance with applicable federal and state environmental laws and regulations. In early 2014, PCB-containing soils near on-site lagoon areas were removed and the East Disposal Area and East Disposal Infield Areas were both remediated. Continued work includes capping the landfill and East Disposal Area as well as final site cleanup and installation of a groundwater recovery system.
